Repeat steps 7 through 9 for the chrome.exe and gears-chrome-opt.msi files.

Repeat steps 7 through 9 for the path C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe for Vista machines or C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe for XP machines. You should include this rule in case some of your users have already installed the browser. After you implement the GPO and the Group Policy settings refresh on those users' local machines, they'll no longer be able to successfully run Google Chrome.

Open a command-prompt window and run the command

gpupdate /force

to apply the new rules.

Run the command

gpresult /R

in Vista SP1 or the command

gpresult

in XP and Vista (pre-SP1) to verify that the newly created GPO has successfully been applied.

As a final test, attempt to run the installer from the Google Chrome website. If the policy is successful, you should see the error that Figure1 shows.

With the Block Google Chrome software restriction policy, you can stop users from installing and using Google's new web browser without IT's consent. (Note that if you want some users to be able to install and run the browser, you can filter the GPO so that it won't affect them.) You can even adapt these steps to block other applications that install to user-accessible areas in the OS and registry.(source:internet)

Windows 8 itself is a huge change and a revolutionary operating system ever.Because of its new and stylish features. And today I'm going to talk about one of its feature " RIBBON "Being good sometime you may feel, taking more space on your screen. So here is a trick to hide Ribbon by default

By default Hibernate or Sleep won't appear in the Windows 8 shutdown dialogs, however you may be able to restore them.Launch the Power Options applet (powercfg.cpl) and click "Choose what the power buttons do" in the left-hand pane.If you see a "Change settings that are current unavailable" link, then click it, check the Sleep and Hibernate options, click Save Changes, and the new options should now appear in your shutdown dialogs.

Tips and Warnings:
After doing this you will have no longer access to your account because it will be deleted permanently. But if you just want to deactivate it for certain days just goto account setting and click on deactivate account. And just you can signin when you want to access your account.

One of the irritating thing about Windows is the " -shortcut " text that is placed after the name of newly created shortcut link. And we must remove it manually which is more irritating. Now you need not to worry because here's a trick that removes your " -shortcut " text automatically.

Notice the ” – Shortcut” added to my "CV Keshav Gyawali" PDF file.

Manual Registry Hack

Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search box or type "regedit" in run command box, and then browse down to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

On the right-hand side you’ll find a key that is just called “link”, with a default value of 1e 00 00 00. Open this key up and change the 1e to 00 instead, leaving you with 00 00 00 00.You’ll have to log off and then back on to make this change take effect. Please note that this won’t affect existing shortcuts, only shortcuts that you create from now on.To change the setting back, just change back to the 1e value, log off and back on.
